However, in a press release sent to Prothom Alo at around 2:30 pm on Wednesday, Summit Group said that according to the assessment of international experts, the ship should be taken to a dockyard in Singapore or the Middle East for repairs. It has already been prepared for departure. Summit Group hopes that it will return within three weeks after repairs.
Summit Group said that during cyclone Ramal, a steel structure weighing several hundred tonnes collided with the LNG terminal, causing damage to the terminal. However, due to the hard work of the concerned officials and staff during the severe cyclone, any major damage was avoided.
